    Brief

    YPO is conducting preliminary market engagement for a new Early Years Furniture framework under the Procurement Act 2023. This framework will renew the previous frameworks (001132 and 1188) and provide direct delivery of high-quality furniture products to public sector early years establishments, including nurseries, primary schools, playgroups, and childminders. Suppliers are invited to participate in this non-binding preliminary engagement exercise from 7 July 2026 to 4 August 2026. YPO seeks to understand the supply base capabilities and gather information on standard product specifications currently available in the market. Suppliers can confirm availability of suggested specifications, propose suitable alternatives, or explain any limitations. All information provided is without prejudice and without commitment. If YPO decides to proceed, a formal procurement process will follow in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and YPO's contract procedure rules. To participate, contact Aaliyah Chilumbu at Aaliyah.chilumbu@ypo.co.uk to access and complete the preliminary market engagement form.
